I enjoyed this book, and I didn't expect it when I first started listening to this as an Audiobook. I am not a fan of anything to do with make-up, or shoes, or bags (unless it is for practical reasons such as how much I can put into it and couldn't care less -who- designed them or what they look like), and so when I first heard of the chapters designated to this since the author is such a fan... I nearly skipped ahead until I got to the part where she went to Antarctica. It was nearly the entire reason why I bought it. But then I actually listened to the first part, just to see if maybe I could be won over. And I could. Not only due to the author's voice, who is not afraid to go the extra mile and do all of the bells and whistles as if someone is actually talking to you, but also due to the way Marian Keyes writes. Between the two I was won over, I didn't skip ahead at any point and laughed and cheered through the entire book. And I found this through the entire book, except for one where I felt it appeared to be more of 'This is who I've met' and slightly got onto my nerves. She did try to write it as if she wasn't bragging, but I couldn't help but feel that a bit too much time was spent on this and that other than -one- famous person she met, the rest didn't need to be there at all. I would highly recommend this book as such. I don't think I could actually -read- it, as a lot of my -fun- with this book was because of the narrator. I -love- the narrator. She made it more than worth it, and so I will be keeping it there with high Stars. But if you like Marian Keyes, then this insight into her life is more than worth it to buy. I would just say get it as an Audiobook. I can't push for it to be -read- that way enough. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

'Fabulous shoes, my badly made stews, an Antarctic cruise and ten pounds to lose. Having to schmooze when I'd far rather snooze. Skin care and bad hair and what should I wear? All kinds of views, which I hope will amuse . . .' Welcome to the magnificent Making It Up as I Go Along- aka the World According to Marian Keyes™ - a bold, brilliant book bursting with Marian's hilarious and heartfelt observations on modern life, love and much, much else besides. Such as? you are determined to ask. Well, how about her guide to breaking up with your hairdresser? Or the warning she has for us all after a particularly traumatic fling with fake tan? There's the pure and bounteous joy of the nail varnish museum, not to mention the very best lies to tell if you find yourself on an Antarctic cruise. She has words of advice for those fast approaching fifty. And she's here to tell you the secret, secret truth about writers - well, this one anyway. You'll be wincing in recognition and scratching your head in incredulity, but like Marian herself you won't be able to stop laughing at the sheer delightful absurdity that is modern life - because each and every one of us is clearly making it up as we go along.
